Autumn is my favorite season. I love the foliage colors, the golden quality of the light, and the bountiful harvest. Here in New York City, there's lots of fresh corn available at the Union Square Farmers' Market and elsewhere. I've been gorging on Sweet Buttered Corn and will be having some tonight. I love it so much, I've made a soft woolen scarf dedicated to it. So even when there's no more corn to buy and eat, you can still wear it!

I used a beautiful 100% soft wool yarn for the scarf. It's knitted and then edged with crocheted bobbles. The textural result gives it a definitely corn-like appearance. As a final touch, I added two tiny corncob buttons to each end. So when it comes to corn on the cob I say... eat it or wear it!

About Me

I am a knitwear designer and lifelong knitter and crocheter. This blog presents a bird's eye view of what goes on in the mind of a designer and what the process is like. I also use the blog to present some new ideas, tutorials, hints and tips, and occasionally to feature some exceptional products.
I learned to knit and crochet when I was 4 years old. Later I taught myself to weave, tat, quilt, applique, embroider, felt, and so on. I have exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum and in several New York galleries. My knitted and crocheted jewelry has been published in Larks' Jewelry With a Hook and in 1000 Jewelry Inspirations.
